Luc Ferrari (1929, Paris – 2005, Arezzo)

Composer, sound artist and radio play producer. He is regarded as a representative of musique concrète and is best known for his experiments with tape music.
In 1958 he founded the “Groupe de Recherches Musicales” (GRM) in Paris with Pierre Schaeffer and François-Bernard Mâche. However, diverging artistic views led to their separation in 1966. While Schaeffer demanded an abstract and typical sound work, Ferrari incorporated recognizable environmental noises into his music (musique anecdotique).
